Made a case earlier this morning on the floor of @Parliament_Ug for increasing our investments in irrigation. Our irrigation uptake is still below 2% . While in the past, irrigation infrastructure development wasn't a much considered priority because of the God given predictable weather, now it's very urgent due to the adverse effects of climate change . We must stabilize agriculture, we must feed and hydrate our soils so that they can feed us back sustainably.

You’re not stuck because you lack access.
You’re stuck because you refuse to move.
Too many men sit in rooms they prayed for…
and still play small.
👉 In the room.
👉 But not in the game.
At some point, proximity stops being an excuse and becomes exposure.
Enkya, @burale1 is on this, tell a friend to tell a friend.
We need to stop talking about helping people with disabilities and start talking about fixing broken systems. Technology is the great equalizer when the tools work, the talent shines. Plain and simple.
Inaccessibility is a design flaw, not a human limitation. Technology doesn’t just help it scales human potential and unlocks a global powerhouse of innovation.
